Fibrin is a sticky protein that forms a web of scar tissue around injuries. And that’s a good thing if you have an injury.

But here’s the problem: Inflammation causes your body to OVERPRODUCE fibrin in a big way

Check out the research published in the journal Medical Hypotheses:

“The tumor dons a ‘coat’ of the host’s own protein on its cell surface. The coat is composed of fibrin and of a polymeric form of human serum albumin (HSA)… Such a coated tumor appears as ‘self’ to the immune system, and thus is not detected as a tumor by the immune system…

When tumors are prepared for in vitro assays against drugs, they are routinely treated with proteolytic enzymes… which dissolve the protein coat, exposing the tumor cell surface to the drug.”

The reason why some cancer drugs may appear to work in laboratory testing and then fail to work in real people may be due to the cancer shield — it’s broken down with proteolytic enzymes during the lab tests but not in the real world, unless, possibly, the patients happen to be taking proteolytic enzymes.

Enzymes have been used in studies of cancer treatment before.

In 2007, an animal study published in the journal Planta Medica found that bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapple cores, treated cancer better than a chemotherapy drug — without toxic side effects.

Your Best “Weapon” to Fight Inflammation

The “proteolytic enzymes” are your body’s MOST POTENT WEAPON against chronic inflammation.

And the chronic inflammation that proteolytic enzymes fight are also behind many of today’s most dangerous diseases, including:

> Various forms of cancer

> Heart disease

> Arthritis

> Alzheimer’s

> Chronic fatigue

> Allergies

> Fibromyalgia

> COPD

> Multiple skin diseases

And many more!

The proteolytic enzymes have even been shown to help heal varicose veins… keloids… other scar tissue… age spots… and much more!

Now this isn’t because it’s some “magical cure-all.”

It’s because proteolytic enzymes are produced naturally in your body and are designed to do the “pain-stopping, disease-fighting heavy-lifting”…

But the older you get, the more DEFICIENT in these proteolytic powerhouses you become.

Brazilian health authorities are sounding the alarm about a mosquito-borne virus that they believe may be the cause of thousands of infants being born with damaged brains.

The pathogen, known as Zika and first discovered in forest monkeys in Africa over 70 years ago, is the new West Nile – a virus that causes mild symptoms in most but can lead to serious neurological complications or even death in others. Brazil’s health ministry said on November 28 that it had found the Zika virus in a baby with microcephaly – a rare condition in which infants are born with shrunken skulls – during an autopsy after the child died. The virus was also found in the amniotic fluid of two mothers whose babies had the condition.

“This is an unprecedented situation, unprecedented in world scientific research,” the ministry said in a statement on its website, according to CNN.

Brazil is investigating more than more than 2400 suspected cases of microcephaly and 29 deaths of infants that occurred this year. Last year the country saw only 147 cases of microcephaly.

The situation in Brazil is so overwhelming that Angela Rocha, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist, said that women may want to hold off on getting pregnant.

“These are newborns who will require special attention their entire lives. It’s an emotional stress that just can’t be imagined,” Rocha said. “We’re talking about a generation of babies that’s going to be affected.”

Until a few years ago, human infections with the virus were almost unheard of. Then, for reasons scientists can’t explain but think may have to do with the complicated effects of climate change, it began to pop up in far-flung parts of the world. In 2007, it infected nearly three-quarters of Yap Island’s 11,000 residents. In 2013, Zika showed up in Tahiti and other parts of French Polynesia and was responsible for making an estimated 28,000 people so ill they sought medical care. It arrived in Brazil in May, where tens of thousands have fallen ill.

The World Health Organization, which has been monitoring the spread of the virus closely and issued an alert about the situation in Brazil, reported this month that it had popped up for the first time in the West African nation of Cape Verde and that it had led to additional illnesses in Panama and Honduras.

In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found the virus in a few travellers returning from overseas, but says there have not come across any cases of people being infected by mosquitoes in the country.

Brazil has been struggling to contain the virus for months through both public education campaigns – which urge residents to use insect repellant and limit their time outdoors – as well as by sending mosquito eradication teams house to house to treat places where mosquitoes that carry the virus might breed.

The health ministry said it was sending truckloads of larvicide – enough to treat 3560 Olympic-sized swimming pools – to northeastern and southeastern states that have been most affected, and that it would add 266,000 new community health agents to make the house calls.

It’s a common spice found in the pantries of homes around the world.

But a grieving mum has warned that cinnamon can kill after her four-year-old son died from inhaling it.

US boy Matthew Rader was in his family’s kitchen on June 3 when the inquisitive preschooler climbed on the stove, found a container of ground cinnamon and decided to have a taste of it.

“He started choking. It was like he was having a seizure and just collapsed,” the boy’s mother, Brianna Rader, told local news outlet WRX.

The child was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead 90 minutes later.

A coroner has ruled the death was accidental and caused by cinnamon asphyxiation.

Ms Rader, from Madison County, Iowa, said her son had no health issues before the incident.

“He was completely healthy, no problems,” she told WRX.

Ms Rader said she is determined to warn other parents about the importance of keeping cinnamon away from children.

“[It] helps ease my breaking heart just a little to think that just maybe my baby’s story can save even just one child’s life,” she wrote on Facebook.

Inhaling cinnamon is dangerous because the spice is made from tree bark and contains cellulose fibres that don’t easily break down.

Research suggests that when cinnamon gets into the lungs it can cause scarring, severe irritation and spasms.

Little Matthew’s death was a terrible accident, however many teenagers have been hospitalised in recent years while taking part in a social media stunt known as “The Cinnamon Challenge”.

In the stunt, people video themselves trying to swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon without water. Clips show participants coughing violently when they are unable to do it.

The danger occurs when the coughing leads to cinnamon being inhaled and settling in the lungs.

Despite the dangers, tens of thousands of videos featuring teens undertaking the challenge can be found on YouTube.

In April 2013 a report published in US Pediatrics journal said at least 30 teenagers across America needed medical attention after taking the cinnamon challenge in the previous 12 months.

“This is a dangerous practice which can result in choking, aspiration of cinnamon powder into the lungs, and even respiratory failure requiring a ventilator in extreme cases,” emergency doctor Robert Glatter told CBSNews.com when the report was released.

“The stunt can also be deadly as a result of lack of oxygen to the brain in cases of choking and aspiration of the powder.”

The grieving Ms Radar knows too well the dangers of inhaling cinnamon, and hopes her son’s story will serve as a warning to anyone considering taking part in the dangerous stunt.

“Cinnamon can kill,” she said. “All these kids, they don’t think about the fact it can hurt them.”

AIRPORT screenings can give you a sexually transmitted disease
You could pick up a sex disease on your next trip – and you don’t even have to visit a hooker in a foreign city to get it.

Just a visit to the airport will do, because the perverted American government is spreading germs as it forces passengers to spread for its new “enhanced security screenings.”

You’ve probably heard a bit about these government-sanctioned gropings. One TV news producer singled out for a special pat down said the agent stuck a hand inside her pants and even felt around inside her panties.

“It was basically worse than going to the gynecologist,” she said. “It was embarrassing. It was demeaning. It was inappropriate.”

It’s also a very real public health threat.

The TV news producer didn’t mention the rubber gloves worn by the screeners, but there have been multiple reports of Transportation Security Admininstration (TSA) workers using the same gloves from one passenger to the next.

And that means every visit with a TSA worker could be like a quick dip in a Tijuana whorehouse – because these guys could be passing out everything from herpes to the crabs all day and night.

That’s a bigger threat to passenger safety than any wannabe terrorist!

A breast cancer survivor was forced to remove her prosthetic breast. A bladder cancer survivor was left covered in his own urine when TSA workers caused his urostomy bag to burst. Children have been screaming through some very personal lessons in “bad touch.”

And in one case, a nursing mother who complained to the TSA after agents X-rayed bottles of pumped breast milk was singled out for retaliatory extra screening during her next trip.

X-ray danger warning for frequent fliers
